HAT AND HAT-FRAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 263,664, dated August29, 1882. Application filed August 3, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ZALMON S. PnNNooK, asubject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at New York, in thecounty and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Attachments for Hats and Hat- Frames, of which the following is aspecification.

In shipping hats or hat-frames to their cus- 1o tomers, manufacturershavethe habit to attach to such hats or hat-frames, or to the paekagescontaining the same, tickets containing the man ufacturers name ortrade-mark, and the number designating the particular hat or hatframe towhich each ticket is attached, so that ifa customer desires to give anorder for hats or hat-frames of a certain shape all he has to do is towrite for so and so many dozens of numbers soand so. The difficulty ofthe costumer 2c. or dealer, however, is that when the hats or hat-framesare sold the manufacturers tickets arexremoved, and it is extremelydifficult for the dealer to tell to what style of hat or hatframe thenumber on the ilifl'erent tickets refer. This difficulty is obviated bymy invention, the object of which is to provide a hat or hat-frameespecially for ladies wear with a ticket or label, which shall indicateto dealers and othersthe style of the hat, in addition to the number bywhich it is known to the manufacturer and the name or trade-mark of themanufacturer, so that in case the ticket is detached from the hat nodifficulty is had in ascertaining the character of the article, and thedanger of forwarding the wrong number in ordering a supply of the goodsisaverted.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which shows ahat provided with a ticket.

The letter A designates the hat, having attached to the brim or anyother suitable part thereof a ticket, B, according to my invention. Onthe face of this ticket are marked the name or-trade-mark of thehat-manufacturer, a picture illustrating the style of the hat, and a 5number serving to designate the article; and hence in ordering a supplyof the goods from the manufacturer it is only necessary to give thenumber contained 011 the ticket, while by the use of the picture thedanger of applying 0 the wrong number to the desired style of hat isaverted, whether the ticket be upon the hat or detached therefrom at thetime of sending the order. When the ticket is used for a hatframe apicture of the frame is substituted for that of the hat.

The arrangement of the characters upon the ticket may be varied ascircumstances or the view of the manufacturer may render expedient, anda description thereof is deemed unnecessary.

\Vhat I claim'as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with a hat or hat-frame, of the attached ticketcontaining the name or trade-mark of the manufacturer, a pictureillustrating the style of the hat or hat-frame, anda number serving todesignate the article, substantially as shown and described, for thepurpose set forth. 70.

In testimony whereofI have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses.
